Oasis Revives Euphoric Memories in Australia as World Tour Hits Its Stride
The nostalgia was palpable at Marvel Stadium on Friday night, as the iconic British rock band Oasis kicked off their highly-anticipated world reunion tour with a euphoric show that left Melbourne's packed crowd screaming for more. The brothers' signature swagger and music filled the air, rekindling memories of their 1998 Australian debut – which was marred by controversy.
The last time Oasis performed in Australia was in 1998, an event tainted by bad behavior from band members, leading to a lifetime ban on one member (Liam) from flying Cathay Pacific. Noel Gallagher's comments about Princess Diana further fueled the drama. However, fans seemed delighted with the reunion, particularly those born after that initial tour who never got the chance to see Oasis live.
The crowd at Marvel Stadium was comprised of a mix of old and new fans, including 28-year-old Ali, who followed the band's dynamics online and decided to splurge on tickets just $115. Her friend Anna, also 28, bought them the night before due to concerns about dynamic pricing in the UK market.
The brothers' performance showcased their signature blend of catchy hooks and guitar riffs, with Noel sporting a cheeky grin throughout the show. As the iconic "Champagne Supernova" ignited, someone launched a flare into the air, prompting Liam's quip: "Naughty, naughty, naughty!"
At various points during the setlist, the brothers engaged in playful banter, poking fun at their own personas and audience members' antics. Noel poked fun at Australia's supposed love of glue sniffing with Oasis's "Bring It On Down," while Liam jokingly chastised Australians about their supposed cocaine habit ("Are you still sniffing?"). The brotherly chemistry was undeniable, showcasing a softer side to the Gallaghers.
As the night drew to a close, Noel and Liam offered heartfelt thanks to the audience. Their reunion show in Cardiff in July saw them depart with a perfunctory clap on the back; now, after months of touring, their affection for each other was visibly more pronounced.
For some fans like Sharon – who waited 27 years to see Oasis perform live again – this moment marked a dream fulfilled. As Noel joked at the end of "Don't Look Back at Anger," it seems Oasis's reunion tour is off to an extraordinary start, rekindling memories and forging new ones for fans around the world.

just saw oasis back on stage and i'm lowkey impressed. their music still gets me pumped up 
especially when they're charging more than usual due to high demand. should be cheaper, tbh 
their energy is infectious 
love how they're poking fun at themselves and the audience 
can't wait for more shows 
their music is still so iconic and catchy, even after all these years. i'm not surprised the crowd was full of old and new fans, who wouldn't want to see oasis live? 
anyway, can't wait to hear about their next show!
115 dollars for a ticket is kinda steep though, but i guess it's worth it for the experience 
... i mean, who needs that level of drama when you can just have a good time? but at the same time, i don't know if it's just me, but there was something really wholesome about those two bros up on stage 
.
noel and liam are still the ultimate duo 
in Australia I was like 10 when they first came out so i've heard these legends live but never seen 'em perform 
especially with "champagne supernova" 
it's crazy how some fans were born after the drama and now get to experience oasis for themselves 
I'm loving this reunion, can you believe it's been 27 years since Sharon saw them live? 
The energy at Marvel Stadium was electric, everyone singing along to every word! Noel's cheeky grin throughout the show just made me wanna dance more 
and Liam's quips about glue sniffing had us all in stitches 
, and Liam's jokes about Aussie habits are too funny 
. Can't wait for the rest of the tour, bring it on 
this performance was insane, can't wait for more shows
I went there last weekend with some mates and we had the best veggie burgers of our lives. The chef is from Australia but now lives in Berlin, which I think is so cool. I've been meaning to visit Berlin, who knows when I'll get around to it? 
meanwhile, liam's banter had me dying laughing 
pure magic. Sharon, you're one lucky soul to see Oasis perform live again after 27 years 
this reunion tour is going to be a wild ride
